Resetting an ability cooldown in Spellbook?

[Testiclies]

Hey guys,

So I understand it is not possible to reset a specific ability's cooldown besides to remove the ability and then add it again. Is that possible to do with an ability inside of a Spellbook ability?

I've tested the simple way, to just remove and add it, but all that does is remove it from the Spellbook and then add it to the unit outside of the Spellbook.

If it is not possible I'll just have to reduce the number of spells for my characters so they fit in the normal ability table.

You need two spellbooks for that (one will be a dummy one). See the "How to add spells to a spellbook with triggers" here:
http://www.thehelper.net/threads/how-to-make-spellbooks.27637/

Then you just remove the spell, and add the dummy spellbook. This might mess up the position of the ability in the spellbook, though, so you may need to do some clever trickery:

That worked exactly as I wanted-- but only for one cast. Is there more I need to do than that tutorial says if I want the effect to be repeatable? All I did was this:

• TEST 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Second
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove First from (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Add Dummy to (Casting unit)

And when I activate it the second time the First ability disappears. I tried again using this:

• TEST 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Second
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove First from (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Add Dummy to (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Remove Dummy from (Casting unit)

But that pulls the player out of the Spellbook when the spell resets, which defeats most of the purpose of the reset if they have to spend the time to open the spellbook up again.

Sorry but, I highly doubt that you can correct that without using complicate scripts
Even in well scripted maps (i.e. DotA) the spellbook closes
